Riding a horse before she could walk and volunteering since she was 12, Sarah knows well the awesome and dynamic force of health to mind, spirit, and body that horses can embody. With a strong background in music, creative writing, event planning, and charity, Sarah has dedicated herself to the work and virtues of Brady’s life-changing programs.

During the 1980’s into the early 2000’s, Hugh and Melba produced the landmark equestrian events, the San Francisco Grand Prix (show jumping) and Polo in the Park on Golden Gate Park’s aptly named Polo Field.

Michele Tobin
PROGRAMS/Trainer/instructor
Michele is an accomplished equestrian, bringing more than 40 years of riding experience to Brady. Having been immersed in equitation and shown hunter jumpers since age four, Michele competed on the NorCal circuit until a few years ago. After being introduced to Brady with her son through Service Corp’s volunteer program, Michele decided to combine her love of riding and children’s causes by volunteering at Brady. She loves teaching and continually developing the Brady horses’ skills to meet the programs’ ever growing needs.
